I had some holes with only resin in it though. The resin is the same refraction index like quartz and I was pretty perplex why the quartz was full of scratches till I realised what it was. I am more worried of mistaking some oddly shaped pieces of organic goo or clay minerals for microfossils. Considering the significant deformation and metamorphism of these rocks they are extremely hard to distinguish.The Lost Geologisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02950872285924945887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687394960390412714.post-54319086467998305622008-01-18T02:15:00.000+01:002008-01-18T02:15:00.000+01:00I would check the slide with a hand lens to make s...I would check the slide with a hand lens to make sure they are not air bubbles or a hole in the thinned sample.GeologyJoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07212488235413098715noreply@blogger.com
